I work out. four times a week.

I swear to god I wear a pant size twelve. I have a lot of muscle or something.

I asked this question because I am a confident woman. However when it comes to men and dating I always worry about my weight and wether or not he thinks I am fat.

Answer 1

Yes. In fact at 201lbs and 5'6" you have a BMI of 28.8, you're not just fat, you're just short of obese (bmi 30+).

Even aside from being unattractive to men, there are plenty of health reasons you should think about losing some of that weight.

Answer 2

Wow your not the only one to be 5'6 201lbs so am I! Yes its considered fat. I can fit in some size 14's but mostly wear 16's. I used to wear a size 5 juniors before when I was 140lbs. Yes i had a 25in waist at 140lbs very small. I could fit into the childs xl size. But anyways join weight watchers ive lost 5lbs and ive been on it for two weeks. That helps. Good luck. :)

Answer 3

There is no way that your pant size is 12 if you are 201 and 5'6. My pant size is 12 and I weigh 155 and I'm 5'5. And second of all... stop hating your body. It's the only one you got. I know my two statements contradict each other but whatever. Point of the story... don't change your self for other people... and skinny girls are gross.

Answer 4

I do not think that you should lose weight to attract men, but keep in shape to be healthy. A size 12 doesn't sound extremely large. You are obviously voluptuous. Maybe you could trim down a little bit, but that is hard to say without really seeing you. I would get myself to my doctor if I were you and get their opinion on your weight and size. A physician will give you a good honest evaluation without trying to get anything out of you for it.

Answer 5

I don't think attracting men is a good reason to lose weight. I think that if you're uncomfortable in your own skin or have health problems then sure, but changing yourself to find a man?
Nah uh. When you're ready, the right man will come along and you won't have to change a thing.

Answer 6

To me I don't think you need to lose weight to attract more men. If you want to lose weight, do it for yourself, and not for others. You'll be more satisfied that way. I love big girls, so I have no problem with them at all. In fact, they are a turn on for me. I hope things work out for you.

Answer 7

Just work out a lil, man like all sizes of women but worrie about urself first like the girl on top said i agree, work out its fun wen u find the good motivation

Answer 8

When and if you really want to lose weight to impress other you will in good time like every thing else... Until then, try you best to keep off the sugars... Sounds like you are married instead of single. LOL

Answer 9

why do u stress urself so much jus for men,, put in mind that some of us men like fat women so be proud of urself also this thing of workout u must becareful with it coz what happens is u do more body building than fat burning so in time u might find that u r short,fat and stout then men wont look at u

Answer 10

There's nothing wrong with a women of your size. Personally, I'm attracted to women that are larger than average. I know that I'm not the only one that feels that way.
